GMRR Day 16 - St Louis, MO to Louisiana, MO

The link to today's route and ride statistics is here.

Today will be short and sweet with no pictures.  There is apparently a major system upgrade for the internet underway in Louisiana, but for the next couple of weeks, no internet in the motel.  I am using my phone personal hotspot, and do not want to burn all my data.
The ride today was very nice, and mostly took place in Illinois. After riding out of St Louis on a nice bike path, we entered Illinois on the Old Chain of Rocks bridge, and were in Illinois until we popped out a few feet before our motel.  To give you a feel, the Welcome to Missouri sign is after the motel.
I will plan to give you a few photos tomorrow to show you what today was about, but for now...
